Video transcript
Let's create a speaking activity with AI. We're signed in as an instructor, on the Dashboard.
In the activity composer, choose the language your students will practice. For this example, select Spanish.
Next, choose a proficiency level that fits your students. We'll use Intermediate Low.
Describe what students should be able to do. We'll ask for a café conversation: ordering a drink and snack, asking about ingredients, and requesting the bill.
If you want to ground the activity in course content, Upload lets you attach files or choose class materials. Our example uses the written goal.
Click Send. The assistant helps you turn that goal into a specific speaking scenario.
Read the assistant's response and reply with the direction you want. We'll use a café in Madrid, with a friendly server and short, clear questions.
Check the language and proficiency shown below the conversation. If you want to refine the plan, choose Add More Details before starting.
When you're ready, click Start Building. ChitterChatter drafts and reviews the activity. We've shortened the waiting time here.
When the activity is ready, open its details to review what was created.
Check the title, student instructions, and session length. The other steps contain learning objectives, the AI scenario, and evaluation settings. Your activity is ready for you to review and customize.
